The reunion and sociable given by Tal man Ledge of Good Templars Monday right, at its hall on Pitt street, attracted a large number of the members of the Talisman and Golden Light Lodges and friends, filling the hall to its uttermost capacity. The lodge Was opened with the ceremonies of the order, when the grand secretary, George W. Hawxhurst, and grand vice templar, Mrs. J. F. Birrell,were welcomed in ritual form, and after trans- acting some routine business the doors were thrown open to the public. A delega- tion of officers and members from the rand Lodge of the District of Columbia re present. The program of the evening consisted of ‘the following numbers: Reci- tation by J. F. Birrell, remarks by Grand Secretary Hawxhurst, address by Mrs. C. E. Gilbert, R. R. W. G. V. T. of South Carolina; dialogue by F. M. Angelo and daughters, address by A. Kalstrom, P. G. . of the District of Columbia; solo by Lucas, music on autoharp and mouth organ by Albert Gilbert, recitation by Har- ry Angelo, trio by John Lucas, Harry Jett and Frank Smith, remarks by Mrs. J. F. Birrell, G. V. T.; recitation by Miss Daisy Herbert. At the conclusion of the exer- cises a flash-light photograph of those after which refresh- present was taken, ments were served. The Walker Inquest. An inquest was to have been held In Washington yesterday on the remains of William T. Walker, who lost his life in the accident at the south end of the Long bridge on Monday, but upon looking into the matter the authorities of Washington found that they lad no jurisdiction in the case, as the accident happened in Vir- ginia. So the remains of Walker were turned over to his relatives, who brought his body to this city yesterday, which was carried to B, Wheatley’s undertaking es- tablishment. | A jury from the coun- ty has been summoned to appear this afternoon, and after the remains shall have heen viewed, the evidence will be heard at the Columbus street court house. Me Geo. A. Mushbach and A, W. Arm- strong of this city will represent the rela- tives of the leceased at the inquest. The funeral of the tnfortunate young man took place today at 3 o'clock from the resi- derce of Mr. F. J. ‘Travers, on Royal street. Regular Meeting. R. E. Lee Camp, Confederate Vererans, held its regular meeting last night, with Commander William A. Smoot in the chair. A letter from Major Albert Akus, in refer- ence to addressing the camp, was read, in which he stated that he would do so’ as soon as he could name the day. A commit- tee was appointed to provide speakers for the regulay meetings ‘during the winter. Two relief committees reported and were discharged; the committee on grave mark- ers was also discharged. Considerable other business was transacted, but of a private nature. Nearly Completed. ‘The alterations on the Columbia fire en- gine are proceeding slowly but surely, un- der the management of Mr. Wm. A. Wood, engineer of the company. The engine is now in the shed back of the Columbia en- gine house completely dismantled. Every portion of her is tor be taken off and put in. thorough order before she goes into service again. When she leaves Mr. Wood's hands to go into service again, about the 20th of this month, she wii! be in better order than ever before and therefore better able to retain the title she holds as cham- pion fire engine of the worki, having got- ten up steam and thrown water 150 feet in six minutes and five seconds, which heats the record by about twenty seconds. With the new nickel jacket and dome on the Columbia will not look like the same old engine, but will be one of the hand- somest and, as it is now, one of the best in the state of Virginia. Notes. The revival services in the M. P. continue to be very well attended. The building of a new front to the old blacksmith shop on North Pitt street near King is nearly completed, and adds much to the appearance of that square. ‘The friends of Mr. W. E. Fendall are urging him to announce himself as a can- didat for the office of corporation attorney. Mr. Thomas Perry, whose name has been menticred in connection with the mayor- alty, seys that he has no intention of be- coming # candidate for that position or any other. Gen. M. D. Corse, who has been confined to his home for the last few days, is able to be out again Miss Mollie Jackson of Laurel, Md., is visiting the Misses Simpson on Woife street. Mr. W..N. McVeigh has returned from a visit’ to Richmond. Mr, W. H. Butler, who played full back on the Volunteers ‘foot ball team of this city all of the season, has accepted a po- sition with one of the leading business houses of New York. Mr. Butler left yes- terday, much to the regret of his many ad- mirers’ and friends in this city, although they wish him success in his new home.

The property, which was deeded by the Chevy Chase Land Company, will be used by the District as a roadway.

It is understood that Mrs. Kennon will continue to cccupy the Tudor mansion until her death, when the new owner will take possession, Father Barry Must Go.

Father Mackin, pas- tor of St. Paul's Church, 15th and V streets, where he was a guest, pending the opening of St. Paul's fair, and presented their petition ip person.

Henry Clay Smith, United States consul to Santos, Brazil, read an interesting pa- per before the Bethel Literary and Histor- ical Association last evening at the Metro- politan A. M. E. Church, The lecture room was well filled with attentive Hsteners. Mr. Smith treated his subject, “The Negro in Brazil,” quite acceptably. He said that in Brazil the negro might be seen engaging in-the different avocations of life with commendable success. He had seen col- ored captains, colonels and generals in the Brazilian army. He spoke of a negro, who had been a slave, and yet had achieved his own emancipation and risen to such eminence as a lawyer in Santos that the bar association there had, after his death, placed a life-size painting of him upon the walls of the court chamber. He also spoke of an eminent negro physician there. Mr. Smith said that although Brazil had many berg no negroes were among them. He commended the industry, self-reliance and rapid development of the negro in Brazil. Mr. Frederick Douglass opened the dis- cussion, which was participated in by Prof. ‘Tunneli of Howard University, Rev. Clarke, G. C. Smith, L. W. Pulies, C. A. Johnson, “onsul Astwood and Dr. Jenifer. i2x-Consul H. C. C. Astwood will read the next paper, upon “The Negro in Hayti and San Domingo. — Took a Bicycle. 4 The races across the river are responsible for the downfall of William J. Scheyer, a laborer in the Treasury Department, who selected C, F, Jenkins, a clerk in the same department, as his victim, Scheyer was paid off Wednesday, as were other em- ployes of the government, and on Thanks- giving day he went over.the river, with the usual “sure tip,” and returned home with- out his salary. He had not paid his board, and, in order to-raise the funds necessary to prevent trouble with the boarding house keeper, he rode of with Mr. Jenkins’ bicy- cle and endeavored to dispose of it at Dakins’ bicycle establishment for $30. The wheel is worth $100. The price set by the ung Mat aroused the suspicions of the dealer, who caused his arrest. Mr. Jenkins was net inclined to prosecute the case, but Jater he swore outea warrant, charging Scheyer with grand larceny. The prisoner, who does not live with his wite, appeared in Judge Miller's court this morning and plead guilty. The case was sent to the grand jury, the court fixing the bond at $500. Change in On account of the death of his uncle, Mr. William Hendley, Mr. 8. Hazen Bond has informed “The Mask and Wig Club” of the Columbian University that it will be Impossible for him to play the title role of “Dorothy” in the forthcoming comic opera to be given by the students. The members of the club and the general pub- lic as well deplore the cause of Mr. Bond's withdrawal and sincerely regret the loss of the pleasure which his appearance as Dorothy would have assured. It was mainly owing to the efforts of Mr. Bond that the Mask and Wig Club was established. He was persistent in the face of obstacles and difficulties that sometimes seemed to dishearten many of his compan- ions, and his example encouraged the others to gain new courage and fresh spir- | it. He has given much of his time and rey to the furtherance of the success of the club and his loss to it at this erit- ical juncture cannot be but severely felt. —— Officers Elected.

Ail Druggists. 50c. and 1, A BRIGHT GIRL’S SAD END She Who Was “Dovie” Forney Dies in Cell. Arrested for Larceny in Kansas City Her Last Feeble Song—The Brooklyn Tragedy. ‘The death of Mrs. Edith Armstrong, bet- ter known as “Dovie” Comstock, in the Kansas City jail, ends the strange career of a beautiful woman. She was the daugh- ter of D. C. Forney, founder of the Wash- ington Chronicle of this city, and a niece of John W. Forney, founder ef the Phila- delphia Press. Ali those who knew “Dovie” Comstock in her childhood speak of her dainty beauty. The name was given her because it fitted her. She was a laughing, wayward child. It seemed natural that she should fall in love with Walter G. Com- stock of Providence, who was rich and handsome and young. His father was very rich. He is a near relative of the Armours and was in the whcelesale meat business. They lived in Providence, on Parkis avenue, in the finest house in the aristocratic Elwood section. They plunged at once into the social whirl. It was uot long before she gathered about her a co- terie of young men, many of them not in the fashionable set. Theye young my drank quantities of wine. Young Com- stock was at first delighted with the hom- ege paid his wife. Afterward he got a di- vorce. Some time after the divorce Mrs. Com- stock went te New York, and then to Brooklyn. It was there she met Theodore Larbig, who lost his life through her. Later she took as a boarder Darwin J. Meserole, son of Gen. Meserole. She had known Meserole several years and had been very intimate with him. On June 27, 1891, Larbig called at the house and began quarreling with her. Meserole interfered and shot Larbig. The trial attracted a widespread attention. The young man was acquitted. Ten months later “Dovie” was married to John L, Watkins, and a short time afterward she went west. Being a victim of the opium habit, her downfall was rapid. A Kansas City special says: When she was arrested on November 24 for stealing a diamond ring from Emma Van Elsner she said: “Opium has ruined my life. I am going to quit using It or die in the attempt.” She was last seen alive At 3 a.m. yester- day by Martha Jordan, a cell neighbor. Edith was lying on her side. Her lips were parched and fever raged in her blood, yet her hands were cold. In a low, weak mon- otone the woman sang “Nearer, My Goa, to Thee.” Her voice did not penetrate to the outside of the cell. The Jordan woman did not disturb her, but stole back to her cell. At 5 o'clock she re-entered the cell, and Edith seemed to be sleeping. At 8 o'clock she again en- tered the cell and shook her friend, but she was dead, Raley Malate I ON MOUNT RANIER, Tremendous Avalanches Have Re- cently Changed Its Surface, The air was sufficiently clear Sunday to permit of Mount Ranier being plainly seen” from Seattle, and there were no reasons to doubt but that the mountain has under- gone changes, but it is due to a series of tremendous avalanches of snow, ice and earth—not to any unusual interruptions. Monday it was observed that the crater rim was intact, showing that no trouble occurred there, but below great slices of the mountain have disappeared, and a bluff of solid rock several hundred feet high and of unknown length has appeared. it is supposed that other slides have oc- curred on the other side of the mountain also.
